Bundles

Both Eric Copeland albums, one affordable price. Available in a vinyl bundle, or a CD bundle.

On Vol. 1:
In the first part of a two-volume release, Eric Copeland (Black Dice) delivers Trogg Modal Vol. 1. It has been one year since releasing Goofballs and Eric has doubled down on his unique approach to crafting dance music, pushing a sort of 'Freakbeat 4/4' agenda even further than before. Chunky percussive layers, hard steady kicks, and maniacally catchy vocal hooks create a playful vibe that is best described as a tropical-industrial hybrid. The final product comes together via seven succinct, self-described “rippers,” created both deliberately and accidentally, and always with a sense of humor that bubbles over and out through the speakers.

On Vol. 2:
Eric Copeland (Black Dice) delivers Trogg Modal Vol. 2, the counterpart to last October’s Vol. 1. His 'Freakbeat 4/4' agenda gets further refined here – Vol. 2 is more laid-back than the first, but still highly danceable. Self-described as “late Night Flight proto tekno,” the tracks pulse with thick layers of percussion, melodic fever dreams, and riffs wrung through a taffy puller. Where Vol. 1 was composed of “rippers,” Vol. 2 travels at its own pace, continuing to showcase Eric’s ability to recontextualize 4/4 tracks as psychedelic contortions. Both volumes combined showcase the musical versatility of one of the key experimental artists of the past twenty years.

More about Goofballs (click here for tracklist)
Eric Copeland (Black Dice) returns to DFA with a brand-new set of hyper & hectic leftfield club music. Goofballs places its emphasis on playful melodies, ear worm hooks & vocals mixed with trademark machine funk rhythms that hit hard and land off-balance. Any other way would be too obvious for an artist like Eric. Perhaps he even invented a new dance genre: ‘Goofstep’. We’ll see if that one sticks…


More about Mixbone (click here for tracklist)
On the Mixbone EP, two tracks from Eric Copeland’s 2017 record Goofballs get reworked by five of leftfield electronic music’s heaviest hitters. The Goofballs LP finds the Black Dice founding member conducting hectic, dancefloor-oriented experiments; The Vinyl Factory called it a “mangled, spangled journey into the fringes of industrial disco and hallucinatory club tackle.” Mixbone capitalizes on this direction with remixes that recontextualize and reshape the propulsive energy of the original songs into wholly different forms. 

Two Eric Copeland vinyl releases at one convenient bundle price! This bundle contains a copy of "Black Bubblegum", and the one-off EP "Ms. Pretzel".

More about Black Bubblegum (click here for tracklist) 
The title of the record says it all: chewy, sticky pop that doesn’t taste quite like  any chewy, sticky pop you’ve had before.  Recorded at Copeland’s old practice space in South Williamsburg, Black Bubblegum contains songs with more conventional sounds and songwriting than any of his previous releases. While there are similarities with Copeland’s earlier work in the drum patterns, major scales and  vocals, Black Bubblegum moves away from his trademark psychedelic dub towards strange and fantastical pop; imagine Arthur Russell going into the 
studio with the Ramones. Wanting to take a more “handson” approach to these recordings, Copeland exchanged sample-driven tech and hardware for keyboards, guitars and effect pedals, creating a new sound that is oddly easy to digest despite its rejection of melody in favour of discord and dissonance.

Two Eric Copeland vinyl releases at one convenient bundle price! This bundle contains a copy of "Joke In The Hole", and the "Remixes" EP that followed.

More about Joke In The Hole (click here for tracklist)
Black Dice member Eric Copeland's latest solo venture (and return to DFA) is a series of samples and beats that features a lighter touch than most of his band's records, with a fondness for pop forms weaved into the confusion.

More about Remixes (click here for tracklist)
a long-gestating 12” single of wild interprations of Eric Copeland’s 2013 album “Joke In The Hole”. Starting us off is Panda Bear, who adds his trademark falsetto vocals and shuffling percussion, sweetening Eric’s black coffee beats. DFA’s own sonic collagist Larry Gus blends Eric’s mumbled vocals with bright percussion and a vocoded male choir, among many other audio dalliances. 

 

Both Planningtorock LPs bundled together with a "Powerhouse" Pin & DFA stickers. 20% off your total order when you bundle!

On Powerhouse:
This November, celebrated dance producer Planningtorock – aka Jam Rostron – will release their radical fourth album: Powerhouse. Powerhouse marks the Berlin-via-Bolton producer’s most intimate album to date, a kinetic, self-produced record flush with attitude, humour, vulnerability and swagger. 

Powerhouse was written and recorded across Berlin, London, New York and Los Angeles. It comes couched in the precision-tooled synths that have become Rostron’s signature, though critics and fans will hear a subtle, ear worm-y shift in style here: from the Noughties US r&b swagger of ‘Transome’ and the bubbling oldschool ‘90s house of 'Beulah Loves Dancing' and ‘Non Binary Femme’, to the funky, flute-laced ‘Much To Touch’ (the only track on Powerhouse to feature a co-producer, long-time friend and collaborator Olof Dreijer of The Knife). Read the rest and listen to "Powerhouse" on Bandcamp.

On W:

W, Planningtorock’s critically acclaimed 2011 debut on DFA, reveals a visionary and politicised producer. It offers up deeply queered art-pop – tense, atmospheric dance music cut with classical flourishes, and spell-binding androgyny. 

"W is a surprisingly warm, immersive journey through territory so alien it feels like some fantastic, surreal dream." - Resident Advisor. | Listen to W on Bandcamp.

Combine several Guerilla Toss releases into a bundle & save some bucks! Four bundles to choose from, free stickers and Guerilla Toss pins with all purchases.

Bundle options:
1) Twisted Crystal LP & GT ULTRA LP
2) Twisted Crystal CD & GT ULTRA CD
3) Twisted Crystal LP & Jay Glass Dubs vs Guerilla Toss Cassette
4) Twisted Crystal CD & Jay Glass Dubs vs Guerilla Toss Cassette

On Twisted Crystal: 
"At times the listener wanders through mazes of dizzying, alternately pulsing time signatures, but the roads always bounce, meet and magically snap back together. That meditative groove, both live and in the studio, has become signature for Guerilla Toss, drawing deep influence from 70s krautrock and experimental rock music like Tom Tom Club, Talking Heads, Brian Eno, Neu!, Cluster, Todd Rundgren, and La Dusseldorf." Read more & hear the album here.

On GT ULTRA: 
"both more personal and more cryptic than ever. But you can hear every word this time, and there is a lyric sheet. As preferred, the meaning is within the listener. It is a dream state record for sure, meant to take you along on a similar vibe that the band has been tripping on these past few years, filled with an insistence to “hydrate, gyrate, think straight, no weight”, all the while under the influence of golden beams of orange sunshine, glimmering glitter and kaleidoscopic bursts." Read more & hear the album here.

On Jay Glass Dubs vs Guerilla Toss: 
he EP comes on the heels of the former’s latest record, GT Ultra, which was released this past June. Jay Glass Dubs vs Guerilla Toss turns the hyper-bouncy pop and deeper, darker tracks of GT Ultra into four, stripped-down dub ruminations, each one spacier and weirder than the last.  The frenetic, zany tempos of songs like “Skull Pop” and “Can I Get The Real Stuff?” are transformed into slow, viscous existential crises that focus in on Kassie Carlson’s echoing vocals. Jay Glass Dubs works headphone magic with reverberating percussion and slinky basslines, as always keeping one foot in dub’s past but both eyes on its horizon. Read more & hear the album here. 

Both Crooked Man albums, one affordable price. Available in a 2x double LP  bundle, or 2xCD bundle. Both bundles ship with Crooked Man pins and DFA stickers. 

On Crooked Man - Crooked Man:
The Crooked Man’s music blends wonky electronic rhythms, heavy bass and razor sharp, politically aware lyrics, often delivered by the honeyed tonsils of Pete Simpson. For proof, check out the banker‐baiting “Scum (Always Rises The Top)”, or the bittersweet social commentary of “Fools & Fanatics”. The Crooked Man may be world weary, but he’s still brimming with rage. Few could have foreseen a link between this jaded recluse and New York’s militantly forward‐looking DFA Records. But then again, the Crooked Man does have history. Read the complete copy and hear the LP here. 

On Crooked Man - Crooked House: 
The elusive Crooked Man returns to DFA with Crooked House, a maximalist take on electronic and house music that picks up where 2016’s self-titled LP left off. Teaming up again with Michael Somerset Ward (Clock DVA) and David Lewin (Bleep & Booster) in the studio, Richard Barratt crafts a comprehensive journey of hi-fi house belters with more sinister electro-pop mixed in for good measure. The LP is influenced by two historic epicenters of electronic music: Sheffield, UK, where Richard has had an illustrious career in a mix of legendary groups like Funky Worm, Sweet Exorcist, and The All Seeing I; and the NYC Loft-era disco sound, where extended grooves were layered with peak-time choruses. More on "Crooked House"+ Full LP audio.
